Wanted: Stories from Understudy/Stand-By Hell

There isn't a greater understudy/stand-by story than the one Elaine Stritch told in her solo show about shuttling between Broadway and New Haven but I'm never-the-less looking for other great tales from Undertstudy/Stand-By Hell for an upcoming story.

Do you have a funny, awful, sad or interesting story about life as an understudy or standby? I'd love to hear it for a story I am writing on the production of Theresa Rebeck's "The Understudy" which begins performances in early August at TheaterWorks in downtown Hartford.

Just post in the "Comments" section of my blog or write me at frizzo@courant.com.
